This fly is on a Varivas 1/0 990s. I`ve used a spreader to get the wider profile. I like to try to capture the varied hues in the bait so it has several shades starting with polar mixed with pearl midge flash, then light pink with a bit of pink midge flash, then lilac then a smoke topping( don`t ya just love the names they come up with for these colors).

Varivas isn`t making hooks any longer and I can`t get anymore. Actually there is one place that still has them but I don`t trhink he`s a sponsor so.... I`m sure you could substitute any wide gap hook. I`ve started hoarding these hooks, having bought 200 in the last month.
